The Concord Hymn<\/h2>\n

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1837)<\/em><\/p>\n

By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
\n???? Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled;
\nHere once the embattled farmers stood;
\n???? And fired the shot heard round the world.<\/p>\n

The foe long since in silence slept;
\n???? Alike the conqueror silent sleeps,
\n???? And Time the ruined bridge has swept
\n???? Down the dark stream that seaward creeps.<\/p>\n

On this green bank, by this soft stream,
\n???? We place with joy a votive stone,
\nThat memory may their deeds redeem,
\n???? When, like our sires, our sons are gone.<\/p>\n

O Thou who made those heroes dare
\n???? To die, and leave their children free, —
\nBid Time and Nature gently spare
\n???? The shaft we raised to them and Thee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
